7 Movies That Should've Starred Charlie Sheen
Dimension Films
Love him or hate him, you have to admit one thing about Charlie Sheen: The guy is pretty damn entertaining.
The man who stole the 2011 media spotlight from every other celebrity with his bizarre behavior and madcap yammerings is currently making a comeback on the big screen, continuing this weekend with his turn in "Scary Movie 5." If the trailers and clips are any indication, Charlie doesn't do much in the movie beyond hang out in bed with Lindsay Lohan — which is, of course, just fine. Get More »

Paul Giamatti Can't Quit His Day Job in Exclusive 'Win Win' Deleted Scene
Paul Giamatti has made something of a specialty of playing sad sacks... and we mean that in the best possible way.
In "Win Win" he's Mike Flaherty, an attorney by day, a high school wrestling coach by night; and while he finds the latter occupation more fulfilling, let's just say he isn't a rousing success at either.
This exclusive deleted scene from the film shows Mike at his day job, dealing with the aging Mrs. Tedesko on the matter of her will. On the one hand, she shows perfectly good sense in answering Mike's question -- but on the other, isn't making his life any easier in a comic back-and-forth that would make Laurel and Hardy proud.

Sundance Fave 'Win Win' is a Winner Winner
Fox Searchlight
A hit with critics at this year's indie-centric Sundance Film Festival where it had its world premiere, "Win Win" is one of those rare crowd pleasers that manages to uplift and bring a little tear to the eye, without being a cloyingly sentimental flick.
This should come as no surprise given the pedigree involved. Director/writer Tom McCarthy's last two films were the restrained and moving dramas "The Visitor" and "The Station Agent" - warm tales that dealt with loss and taxed on lead characters who overcome odds to come out on top. They also featured exceptional large casts, all bringing their A-game to the plate.
"Win Win" follows suit. Get More »

Alex Shaffer was your run-of-the-mill high school wrestling star in New Jersey before taking a random audition and finding himself the co-star to Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan in Tom McCarthy's new dramedy "Win Win." Not a bad thing to fall into.
Shaffer thinks he landed the role of Kyle, a troubled runaway Giamatti's lawyer/wrestling coach takes in, because of his innate talents on the mat. But after getting the job, he tried his darndest to learn "how to act." Get More »
